How to render LOOP'S SEQUENCE into 360 image files? What a script do I Have to wright? How must I apply it?

Hi, in the programme under script in the menu there is edit script. Then there pops up an empty script. A script is an .asc file.
Beneath this text is a script (not my script)to make 360 pictures on your c-disc. Make shure you have a folder created with "animation" on your c-disc. Just copy-paste the script(beneath) in notepad and call it "animation render script.asc"
Then open in an empty script (on the right) your "animation render script.asc" and click the green play button.
--desired frame count = 360(loop sequence)
After a few other questions (width/height/quality/filter radius/prefix(frame(?))/oversample/filetype/output folder) you have to wait while your computer renders 360 pictures in the animation-folder.
With a programme like "virtualdub" you can make a movie of your pictures.
Good luck and here is the script, fractals

//Animation Render Script for Apophysis

//Original author Mark Townsend 2003

//
//I really liked the original animation script, which
//comes pre-installed with Apophysis. However, I didn't
//like having to go into the script every time I wanted
//to alter the resolution, frames, quality, etc.
//
//After learning a bit more about scripting, I saw how
//I could easily adapt this script to allow user input
//while running it. After some problems, I was able
//to bring it all together.
//
//One of the main things I set out to accomplish with
//this script was to create the ability to save multiple
//animation cycles to one folder by easily setting
//new frame prefixes. Typically, I prefer to keep all
//of my renders together and move them to seperate
//folders as needed.
//
//Hopefully, this new script will help simplify the
//fun process of animation rendering.
